Dear NetBSD Help,

My Cisco Aironet PCMCIA wifi card that worked fine with an(4) under
NetBSD 1.6.2 i386 appears to be having problems with under NetBSD 2.0
i386 and is returning oversize frame errors.  I haven't made any
changes to the Linksys BEFW11S4 V2/V3 Wireless Access Point Router,
Firmware 1.45.10, or the Aironet card.  I tried a different Aironet
350 PCMCIA card and got the same kinds of messages, an excerpt of
which follows.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!
Richard
